Directly Attached Storage. A NAS but without the network part, a box of drives which you plug into your PC directly. For consumers via USB mostly, for larger applications via SAS or something.

It's a connection standard for enterprise hardware, think of it like your PCs SATA connections on steroids. You can have higher speeds, many drives on a single cable, and redundancy.
